A magical castle Santa visit

5.00A brilliant experience in an enchanted castle setting. I took my two kids 8 and 5 year old and they had a great time. Santa was full of energy with songs, quizzes and a lovely present. Highly recommend it.
They brought the sunshine in the middle of a windy, stormy day.

5.00We went on a day that was cold and stormy. We half expected the museum to be closed. We were so surprised that not only were they open, but they still had their wonderful actors perform. As theatre actors ourselves, we were so impressed at the calibre of performance that was given, even when they had to move all the presentations inside. The performers remained grounded and energized even though my husband and I were the only audience members there. The commitment to the story and character interaction really brightened our day that would otherwise have been fairly dull and damp. Thank you for an amazing educational and entertaining experience!
Great fun and educational...
